Lehrveranstaltungen:

• • [AG - V3b] Environmental Hydrogeology - Tracer, Isotopes & Natural Attenuation https://www.studon.fau.de/studon/goto.php?target=crs_3571832
    (Vorlesung mit Übung, 4 SWS, Johannes Barth et al., Do, 12:15 - 14:30, H Geologie; https://www.studon.fau.de/studon/goto.php?target=crs_3571832)

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

None, but basic knowledge of hydrogeology is recommended.

Inhalt:

The course provides an overview of various aquifer tracer techniques involving color and salt tracers to determine groundwater flow rates. Radiotracers are presented and serve to introduce concepts of largescale isotope hydrogeology. Here the focus is on environmental isotopes in geohydrological and carbon cycles. Principles are explained with several examples. The course also includes a 1.5 to 2-day tracer experiment.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

The students are able to:

• understand, plan and perform local tracer studies on surface and groundwater systems

• understand and interpret largescale mass balance of C, H, N and O isotopes

• apply various tracer techniques for aquifers using color and salt tracers, and infer groundwater flow rates

• explain the principle of mass balance of stable isotopes and apply it independently
